According to the Chinese Zodiac, those born in 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015 fall into the Year of the Goat. Unlike the traditional calendar in which a year starts on January 1st, the Lunar year usually starts in February or late January. Those born in a goat year are said to be clever, kind hearted and polite but also shy and pessimistic.

The 2015 1/2 oz Silver Australian Year of the Goat Coin features an all new design created by Natasha Muhl which reveals three goats grazing in a field. Two adult goats are stopped and staring ahead cautiously while the young goat has his head down feeding on the grass. Above the adult goat is the Chinese symbol for “goat” with the P mintmark stamped to the left. Underneath the family of goats is the marking for “Year of the Goat.”

The coin’s obverse shows the classic design of a young Queen Elizabeth II as created by Ian Rank-Broadley. In his portrait of her majesty, Rank-Broadley depicts the queen turned in profile wearing her tiara. The queens name and country are listed above to the left and right respectively. To the bottom left of the queen, etchings for the coin’s weight and metal fineness are listed followed by the year and face value.
